Scientists discovered a new species of freshwater fish that lives in a pond with a very low O2 level. When they measured the oxy
AysviL [449]

Answer:

In order to propose a hypothesis, there is a need to first see the function of gills in fishes. The gills of fishes comprise blood vessels that exhibit inherited tendencies of getting oxygen out of the water, which was consumed by fishes from their mouths. These gills also comprise thin walls, and when water moves over these walls of blood vessels, the oxygen from water moves into the blood, and then this oxygen-enriched blood goes to various organs.  

Thus, one of the hypotheses in the given case, can be the number of blood vessels, which are found in the gills of the mentioned freshwater fish to be higher in comparison to the blood vessels found in the normal fishes, and apart from this, the surface area of the thin walls, which are found in the gills is also more in the new species of freshwater fish.

saw5 [17]

Ans. (4). protein synthesis.

Protein synthesis can be defined as a process that involves formation of polypeptides or proteins by using information present in DNA. It is divided into two steps, transcription and translation.

During transcription, DNA is transcribed into mRNA and information present in DNA is transferred to mRNA as codons. Codons represent triplet of nucleotides and each codon codes for a specific codon.

Translation involves formation of protein, during which amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain with the help of codons.

The given diagram represents process of translation. Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
